Beschreibung
“With a Vedic perspective on consciousness as primary lens, the authors take us on a wide-ranging and richly engaging tour that interweaves philosophy-of-mind, cutting edge findings in neuroscience, innovative approaches to peace building and eco-sustainability, and the timeless wisdom of the wholeness of existence that could not be more timely in today’s world.”

“This book provides a refreshingly new and concise consciousness-based framework for management as a source of world benefit. Highly recommended.”—Chris Laszlo, Professor of Organizational Behavior, Case Western Reserve University, USA
This two-volume set examines the need for a consciousness-based view of leadership, which emphasizes universal human flourishing, as opposed to a resource-based view, which focuses on sustaining a competitive advantage. This approach is built around three main principles: 1) Paradigm (Consciousness is primary including complementary existence of opposites), 2) Interpersonal (focusing on empathy and compassion), and 3) Individual (experiencing Oneness and expressing creativity).
Volume One is divided into three sections. The first section focuses on Consciousness-based approaches to Inclusive, Purposeful, Quantum, and Vedic leadership. The second section focuses on leadership principles from Vedic scriptures such as Ramayana and Vedanta. The third section includes leadership principles from other scriptures such as Buddhism, Confucianism, Daoism, and Thirukural.
Aligning leadership practices with the notion of unbounded consciousness, this edited collection will extend the literature on organizational culture, leadership, and sustainability, contributing to solving the grand challenges facing humanity.

“In both theory and practice there is a bias in the conceptualization of leadership, it is a focus on behavior. The key to elevating leadership is in understanding the concept of consciousness. These volumes are an invaluable contribution.” (Professor Robert E. Quinn, Center for Positive Leadership, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, USA)
“This book provides a refreshingly new and concise consciousness-based framework for management as a source of world benefit. It is a much-needed resource to continue to build emphasis on Consciousness as the basis for action, in business and elsewhere. This volume presents leadership and management based on the non-dual direct intuitive ways of knowing and quantum theory and many other philosophical perspectives. It will be of great resource for the academic as well as professional audiences. Highly recommended.” (Chris Laszlo, Professor of Organizational Behavior, Case Western Reserve University, USA)
“This book is a unique and thought-provoking consideration of how the experience and understanding of consciousness can bring peace and prosperity to the world. It contains contributions from dozens of authors from around the world, who amplify the theory and practice of consciousness from a variety of traditions. It shows how development of consciousness can be the source of fluid thinking, and how it fosters higher purpose, both for individuals and for their organizations. The chapter on “Creating Coherence in Collective Consciousness” by Orme-Johnson discusses fascinating recent research on a novel method to create world peace. “Consciousness as the Source of Purposeful Leadership” by Drs. Nader and Maheshwari offers fundamental ideas for growing leadership. I highly recommend this book for all leaders and managers. It will give them tools to align their organizations with the underlying rising collective consciousness in the world.” (Bob Roth, CEO, David Lynch Foundation; NY Times bestsellingauthor, Strength in Stillness: The Power of Transcendental Meditation)
“As the management world seeks to expand its horizons to encompass the interior development of the manager, the need for expert guidance expands apace. Anil Maheshwari, PhD and Tony Nader, MD provide an important resource for just this purpose. With a Vedic perspective on consciousness as primary lens, they take us on a wide-ranging and richly engaging tour that interweaves philosophy-of-mind, cutting edge findings in neuroscience, innovative approaches to peace building and eco-sustainability, and the timeless wisdom of the wholeness of existence that could not be more timely in today’s world. Competency in the workplace takes an evolutionary stride as enlightened managers elevate the consciousness of those around them. The notion that collective meditation can enliven collective consciousness in society, resulting in benefits including reduced crime and accident rates, represents yet another new chapter inthe emergent story of leadership. This is a visionary book if ever there was one.” (Ed Sarath, Professor of Music, Founder and Co-Director, Program in Creativity and Consciousness, The University of Michigan, USA)
